ELIAMEP is expanding its thematic scope with a new Programme focused on Greek-French relations. The two countries have a long tradition of ties and the new “France Group”/fr.gr Programme will serve as a framework for the study of Greece-France convergences on issues relating to European sovereignty, defence policy, economic development and fiscal policy within the Eurozone, as well as for the study of the friendship between the two nations.

The aim of the Programme is to promote research, stimulate a public conversation, provide high-quality information, and produce original analyses of the French public sphere, society and politics.

The Programme is headed by Panagis Panagiotopoulos, Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science and Public Administration at Athens University (Head of the Social Theory and Sociology Section), Senior Research Fellow at ELIAMEP.

The team includes many distinguished scholars with an in-depth knowledge of the French reality, among which: Emmanuella Doussis, Professor, Athens University, Special Advisor to ELIAMEP; Calliope Spanou, Professor, Athens University, Special Advisor to ELIAMEP; Gerassimos Moschonas, Professor, Panteion University; Lambrini Rori, Assistant Professor, Athens University.
